The strange life of low-tech America

Article Abstract:

There are a large number of basic manufacturing companies in the US which have performed adequately in terms of employment and output, despite paying higher wages than in many developing economies. Many of these companies are family firms, and low-tech companies can also benefit from transportation costs being lower when production is in the US. They may also be capital-intensive firms with labor forming only a small proportion of total costs, and may be able to offer a reliable service and quicke delivery.
